Scientific paper

A Parker-type blast wave, which is headed by a strong shock, driven out by a propelling contact surface, moving into an ambient solar wind having a strictly inverse square law radial decay in density, is studied. Assuming the self-similar flow behind the shock to be isothermal, approximate analytical and exact numerical solutions are obtained. There is a good agreement between the approximate analytical and exact numerical solutions. It is observed that the mathematical singularity in density at the contact surface is removed for the isothermal flow.
